My Doc Martins are about 10 years old... still together.. i go through sneakers (DC, Globe, etc..) every year or 2... have a dress shoe, and am picking up a pair of running sneakers for the gym.. i can think of NO occasion where one of the 4 shoes would be adequate for any given situation... having anymore shoes than that boggles my mind.... i would rather spend the extra money on something i can do something with..wearing a different sneaker every 3 days does nothing for me personally but hey if you are into that s**t cool..
